As an Entrepreneur, Efficiency Expert, Author and Business Maverick, Al Kiremli has worn many hats during his career. In the last decade alone he has created the world’s first Iraqi food franchise, a unique gaming brand, and undertaken or invested in myriad projects. Thanks to his perseverance, his innate belief that every day brings with it the opportunity to learn something new, and his ability to adapt and navigate any obstacles he encounters, he has made each of his “hats” fit. If you were to ask Ahmed Al Kiremli why he’s as successful as he is today, he’d tell you it’s because he’s failed in the past, and learned from those failures.

An endless seeker of knowledge, Al Kiremli holds an MBA from the University of Phoenix, AZ. Supplementing his acquired knowledge and experience through books, seminars and the mentorship of experts, he has managed to continue incorporating his love for learning into his everyday life. In his career, he has used this thirst for knowledge, both the acquiring and sharing of it, to straddle the line between corporate strategist and entrepreneur.

He has tackled such varied challenges as implementing strategic change within decades old companies to establishing and franchising his own Iraqi fast/casual dining brand (IRAQI TOUCH); the first Iraqi food franchise in the world. Along the way, he created an inventive gaming brand (Games Corner) leveraging “dead space” within malls and subsequently franchised the concept, provided tactical leadership to leading regional brands and used his in-depth knowledge of internet marketing to optimally position his brands. He continues to explore new concepts, either his own or unique investment opportunities, daily, and stays true to his overriding passion: to learn all he can, and share that knowledge with others.

Alongside this drive, Al Kiremli has kept striving to find the ideal balance between work and life, developing innovative methods of managing his ever increasing workload in ways that allow him to combine his love for life, and his love for work.  He has streamlined his operations through a combination of outsourcing and productive delegation among other methodologies, freeing up time to allow him to continue developing new concepts, and identifying new opportunities.

A firm believer in the principle that says the right mindset, a willingness to learn, persistence, and a belief in the dreams that drive us combined with the will to take action are the main keys to success means that Al Kiremli has developed a sixth sense which has led him to seizing opportunities others may discard. It’s by taking these educated risks that he’s succeeded, and today, he has taken his myriad talents and varied experience and combined what he has learn into the premise for his new book; one that deals with the ever important topic of transitioning from employee to efficient entrepreneur.

If you ask Al Kiremli what tomorrow will bring, he’ll tell you he doesn’t know; all he’s sure of is that whatever it is he’ll learn from it, grow, succeed and ensure it endures as part of his legacy. After all, for an entrepreneur who managed to find the time to acquire new skills, seek out and embrace new opportunities while maintaining balance in his life through creative management, all while becoming a professional squash player: anything’s possible.

What Ahmed Al Kiremli says about himself?

When working with someone, I believe it is important for you to know a little bit about that someone. If you are not already familiar with me, my name is Ahmed Al Kiremli. As an entrepreneur, I have started several of my own businesses. I am also an investor as well as an efficiency expert to individuals and companies. In that capacity, I am also frequently called upon to provide mentorships to CEOs and other individuals.

One of the questions that I am frequently asked is what exactly is it that I do. My specialty lies in seeking out new, innovative and more efficient ways to improve business processes as well as everyday life habits. This is an area in which I am intimately familiar. I know whereof I speak. By implementing such efficiency methods and business processes in my own life and career, I have been fortunate enough to experience a high degree of success, including establishing a variety of brands, such as the first Iraqi franchise restaurant in the world (IRAQI TOUCH). Other business enterprises that I have founded include the world’s best movie ratings app (Best Movie Ratings), a kids’ playground concept (Climb and Slide), and a unique video gaming brand (Games Corner).

Needless to say, I have worn many hats during the course of my career and I am continually seeking out and exploring new endeavors on an international and local basis. At the same time, I also continue to look for new and innovative ways in which I can become more efficient.

It is precisely those techniques that I teach to clients in my efficiency consultancy business. You see, I believe that we all have dreams, goals, and desires. We all want to do more. The differentiating factor that results in some people being able to accomplish those goals while others only dream about them is that some people are able to overcome obstacles and work more efficiently while others are not. I strongly believe that every day brings with it the opportunity to learn something new. I have certainly faced many challenges in my own life, yet I continued to persevere, and adapt to any challenges that came way. At some point, we have all failed in the past. I have had my own share of failures, yet I learned something from each of those failures.

Many people call themselves lifelong learners. I think of myself as an endless seeker of knowledge. Along with holding an MBA from the University of Phoenix, I continue to supplement my knowledge and experience with seminars, books (an average of 2 books per week), and expert mentors. Today, I deploy that same thirst for knowledge as a way to not only enhance my own education but also to share it.

As an efficiency consultant, I teach others how to find the time necessary to acquire new skills, how to not only seek out but embrace each day’s new opportunities, and maintain a healthy balance in life through creative management. I not only believe that anything is possible; I can show you how to achieve it.

Mark is The Guy Behind LearnToProgram.tv

Mark Lassoff’s parents frequently claim that he was born to be a programmer. In the mid-eighties, when the neighborhood kids were outside playing kickball and throwing snowballs, Mark was hard at work on his Commodore 64 writing games in the BASIC programming language. Computers and programming continued to be a strong interest in college where Mark majored in Communications and Computer Science. After completing his college career, Mark worked in the software and web development departments at several large corporations.

In 2001, on a whim, while his contemporaries were conquering the dot com world, Mark accepted a position training programmers in a technical training center in Austin, Texas. It was there that Mark fell in love with teaching programming, which has been his passion ever since. Today Mark is a top technical trainer, traveling the country providing training for software and web developers. Mark’s training clients include the Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, Discover Card Services, and Kaiser Permanente. He has consulted for companies such as Dell, Target, Lockheed Martin, and government agencies including the US House of Representatives. In addition to traditional classroom training and consulting, Mark releases video tutorial training for aspiring programmers on his website, www.LearnToProgram.tv and Udemy.com.

He lives near Hartford, Connecticut where he is in the process of redecorating his condominium.

Mark started programming at age 11 on a Commodore 64. While other kids were outside playing kickball, Mark was creating video games in the BASIC programming language. After a career that included web development, team leadership, corporate leadership, and founding three startups, Mark founded LearnToProgram. LearnToProgram is currently the fastest growing technical publishing company in the country. In his spare time, Mark likes to travel, dine out and work with other entrepreneurs in Connecticut. When he’s not at work, Mark can be found at every Journey, REO Speedwagon and Foreigner concert within driving distance.

LearnToProgram Media is a leading publisher of web, mobile, and game development courses that are used by over 125,000 people in 65 countries. LearnToProgram’s valuable network of technical resources includes content on YouTube, iTunes, and Roku, as well as BOOKS, free tutorials, and online courses. The company is based outside of Hartford, Connecticut.

Teaching programming has been Mark’s passion for the last 10 years. Today Mark is a top technical trainer, traveling the country providing training for software and web developers. Mark’s training clients include the Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, Discover Card Services, and Kaiser Permaente. Mark’s clients rate his classes 9.81/10, with consistent perfect scores on participant evaluations.

In addition to traditional classroom training, Mark is a sought after video trainer and host. He has authored and hosted video courses for several publishers, including his own company LearnToProgram.tv, Inc.. Mark has authored over 15 online courses and works with students from all 50 states and over 47 countries. Over 10,000 people have learned programming skills from Mark’s courses.

He lives near Hartford, Connecticut in a 150 year old converted textile mill.

About FailCon

Stop being afraid of failure and start embracing it.

FailCon is a one-day conference for technology entrepreneurs, investors, developers and designers to study their own and others’ failures and prepare for success.

We all have founded, worked for or invested in startups that have failed. We’re smart, we keep up with the latest in technology trends, but sometimes just don’t go as planned. How can you predict what will work and what won’t? Well, you can’t.

But that doesn’t mean you should stop trying. It just means you should start exchanging stories of what didn’t work and how you pivoted, why you couldn’t raise money, what the wrong hires were like, and when you decided it was time to let go. Entrepreneurs need to hear that from each other: that it’s okay to fail, it doesn’t mean you’re worthless. You’re just like the rest of us, learning from our making mistakes and building something bigger next time.

Our Story

FailCon was started in 2009 by Cass Phillipps, an event planner for startup events and Diane Loviglio, a founder of a cleantech startup.

We’d both produced or attended numerous events for the technology industry, but had begun to realize things were starting to get repetitive. Events put successful entrepreneurs on stage to talk about how they made their company great, something that’s near-impossible to replicate, and never about what they learned from mistakes along the way. In talking to other attendees, we saw this was a pretty universal opinion; and so we decided to work with the community and, together, make something stronger. Our first event launched with over 400 attendees, and we’ve continued to grow since then. We hope you’ll join us and add your unique story and experience to our own.

The post How to Fail Efficiently (Failcon Dubai) By Ahmed Al Kiremli appeared first on 1on1 Business & Marketing Mentoring.

Why to Learn?

Some of us learn to achieve a goal or vision, to do something the right way, to see our alternatives, to change our lives, to live better lives, to equip ourselves before opportunity knocks on our door, to better manage our risks so we’ll be more comfortable, to provide the best future for our kids or our family, to understand how we can be happier, to add value to a community or society, to help others, to change the world, to solve a problem, to save a species from disappearing, to help our country, to manage a company more efficiently, to raise our kids the right way, or to enhance our self-esteem.

There are so many different reasons why we are learning, and most of them revolve about personal or social gain, pleasure, passion, adding value, self-esteem, and to solve a problem or make money. Life is all about learning and discovering, so this is why you have to learn.

What to Learn?

There are four main types of learning:

1. Academic (School)

To learn how to read, write, and solve basic math formulas.

2. Professional (College/Job)

To acquire specific skills to excel in a career as professional.

3. Financial (Real World/Different Resources)

You get this type of learning either from the real world, such as your business and life, or from different resources and institutions to understand how to deal with money and break its code.

4. Spiritual (Religion/Belief)

This type of learning will add balance and meaning to your life.

You can start learning things that are related to your passion; many of us are born with a certain talent, so start learning to polish and boost this talent. For instance, if you are a talented musician, you need to study music so you can read the notes or you can understand the history of the music and the types, so you can excel, adding value to the world and increasing your knowledge and talent.

Sometimes talent is not enough. Some great musicians who are talented, like The Beatles, never knew how to read or write the music notes.

“None of us can read music. None of us can write it.” – John Lennon, 1980

But when you add experience to talent, things start changing.

In 1960, while The Beatles were still an unknown high school rock band, they went to Hamburg, Germany, to play in the local clubs. They were underpaid, and the acoustics were very bad. The audience didn’t appreciate them, but what The Beatles gained out of this experience is hours upon hours of nonstop playing time that shaped them and made their music much better. As The Beatles grew in skill, audiences demanded them more and more. By 1962, they were playing eight hours per night, seven nights per week. By 1964, the year they burst on the international scene, The Beatles had played more than 1,200 concerts together. By way of comparison, most bands today don’t play 1,200 times in their entire career. Experience adds a lot to your learning. It allows you to diagnose your weaknesses and strengths, then make adjustments to bring the best out of you over the years. If you take a scientific angle and add academic studies and professional mentorship to your experience and talent, you can become stronger and reach bigger outcomes.

You also should learn about how to achieve your goals. You can read books, take courses, and attend seminars. You can learn about life, business, success, sports, and even being the best speaker. You can learn things that will improve your life. You can learn things that will save you time, such as time management and some other techniques that will allow you to get more things done.

Learning is essential, especially now in the information age. All the information is available around you, and it’s easier to get to the information. The world is moving very fast, so we need to keep up with the world. We are not in the industrial age, where things were going slower. Now, consistent learning is very important, so never stop learning until you die.

Many people quit learning when they finish school or university. Thinking that you know everything you need to is a big mistake. I know some people who have been graduated for 30 years and never read anything new about the subject that they studied, and they think that they know everything they need to know on that subject. The world is changing every second, and you need to stay up to date with what’s going on.

Learning will expand your way of thinking and your mindset. You will understand other cultures; you will be more flexible; you will be more open-minded; you will be less racist; you will understand why people have certain habits, why people who grow up in a certain country act like that, how their education, background, and habits have shaped their culture. Learning will expand your absorption and eagerness for more knowledge to answer more questions; as you know more, you can add more value by solving even more problems.

When I discovered my personal development path, it was unbelievable how it transformed my life. Now I’m eager to learn more and more, because day after day I feel its power is getting bigger and bigger.

Your learning also can be about finances. This will help you solve your financial issues and live a happier life, raise your kids in a better way, and achieve your goals faster. Money will help you do things faster, and if you know how to use it, it will boost your happiness level. However, money alone will not give you happiness; happiness requires fulfillment more than money, and money will not give you the fulfillment that you need.

It’s also very important what you decide to learn next. You need to pick what to learn based on your current needs and to take an extra step toward what you want to achieve. If you take a look at the books that I’m reading, you would see that I’m reading about investments and management today, and tomorrow I’m reading about happiness and habits. I read based on my current struggles or what I want to improve. When I struggle with ideas for investment, I go read about investments. If I want to understand how the banks are working, I read about banks. If I want to improve my negotiation skills, I read a book about negotiations. If I want to improve my time-management skills, I read about that. If I want to understand how video marketing and SEO works, I read a book about that.

You usually learn about what you want to improve, or your health, your life, your happiness, your business. If you want to solve a problem, learn more about it; you must master it before you can start adding your value.

How to Learn?

You need to figure out what are the most efficient techniques or ways that suit your learning style. That could be books, seminars, audiobooks, e-books, mentors, websites, university, school, experience, blogs, online or offline courses, your failures, or your successes.

I have found that the most efficient way to learn is to combine passive learning (reading and listening) with active learning (taking action).

Please share with us some of your most efficient techniques of learning that you have learned through your life journey?
